NJR Beats Q3 EPS by 57%, Tightens FY Guidance to $3.52–$3.62
NJR sits 34% above its 52-week low of $43.46.
Summary
NJR delivered a strong Q3, with adjusted EPS of $0.11 crushing the $0.07 consensus and revenue beating by $7.5M. The company tightened its FY NFEPS guidance to $3.52–$3.62, raising the lower end from $3.48, signaling confidence in the back half. This follows the June rate case filing for $950M in system investments and an 8.9% bill reduction for customers—moves that support the regulated utility's earnings base. Clean Energy Ventures narrowed its loss, while Storage and Transportation saw higher operating income. With shares near a 52-week high and trading at 17x forward earnings, the beat and guidance raise reinforce the growth narrative. Watch for any updates on the rate case outcome, which could further de-risk the utility's earnings trajectory.
